I’m weary of defending Apple and I explain why. In Dumb Question Corner Steve Davidson asks for an explanation of whether the new iPhones from Verizon and AT&T can actually be moved between the two carriers and I find the answers at https://www.apple.com/iphone-6/specs/ and http://www.techwalls.com/differences-between-iphone-6-6-plus-models/. Steve and I continue our adventure figuring out how to […]

Dumb Question Corner – Can AT&T and Verizon Phones Work on Each Others Network?
Steve Davidson has our Dumb Question for today. Here’s what he wrote: A few years ago, when I bought my iPad 2, those of us in the US had to decide at the time of purchase whether we wanted a GSM iPad 2 (to use on AT&T’s network) or a CDMA iPad 2 (for Verizon’s […]

When last we left our heroes Allison and Steve, we were trying to set up a second Drobo. If you didn’t hear last week’s show, the problem to solve was that we wanted a new Drobo and to use our old Drobo to back up the new one. We made a slight error by putting […]

You’ve heard me complain about the Drobo for a long time, and it’s really not the fault of the Drobo. Steve and I bought a Drobo FS many years ago but I didn’t think we really needed it, I felt we succumbed to the convincing advertising of our podcasting friends. I didn’t think we had […]

I’ve really been enjoying how much it’s made people nuts that I a) bought a Windows phone and b) that I actually kind of like it. Part of my reason for enjoying it has been the constant help by Joel Rushworth, who I met through Chris Ashley of the SMR Podcast. Joel isn’t pushy at […]
